--- Comment #2 from Eyal Rozenberg <eyalroz at technion dot ac.il> --- (In reply to Richard Biener from comment #1) > The issue at -O2 is etc. That is one issue, but there is the question of the changes in behavior between versions and when `-march` is used. I don't know if you guys are actively maintaining 7.x or 6.x ; assuming you do, each of them should at least exhibit coherent behavior here. > because of the awkward IV structure PRE present us with I assume other GCC devs will understand what this means, but for my benefit as the lay reporter - can you define (or link to a definition of) what "PRE" is and what is an "awkward IV structure"? (I'm guessing the acronym expands to Induction Variable.)
